Window switches stopped working. help.

okay so about a week ago but passenger side window switch (the one located on the drivers door) stopped working. the one on the passenger side still functioned properly until about a day ago and it stopped working as well. This leads me to believe that the motor is not the issue because they didnt stop working at the same time. is the passenger door window switch piggy backed to the drivers door? which wire should i use to test to see if the switch is functioning properly? thanks in advance guys.

Usually the drivers door switch feeds power to all the other switches. So if the drivers switch is bad all the windows won't roll down from their own switches. This is not always the case but I don't know how rangers are wired.
